Vasily Koshechkin was perfect, even stopping three of three in the penalty shot session, in Magnitogorsk's 1-0 win over Dynamo Moscow. Ex-Lightning draft pick Marek Kvapil was among the unlucky Dynamo shooters nullified by Koshechkin in the skills competition.

Only slightly less impressive than Koshechkin's shutout, Andrey Vasilevskiy turned aside all 23 shots he faced to deliver Ufa a 1-0 win over Kazan. Longtime KHL star Konstantin Barulin turned aside 27 shots at the other end of the ice for Kazan in defeat.

Jaroslav Janus turned away all three shooters he faced to deliver Bratislava a 4-3 shootout win over Minsk. Ex-NHLer Miroslav Satan had a goal in the match for Slovan. Ex-Lightning defenseman Lukas Krajicek had a pair of helpers in defeat for Minsk.

Andrey Vasilevskiy stopped 3 of 5 shooters to help Ufa overcome Novosibirsk 4-3. All 3 of Ufa's shootout goals were scored by former Senators draft pick Igor Mirnov. Defenseman Alexei Vasilevskiy, scored the game opening goal for Ufa. It was the older Vasilevskiy's first KHL goal. Ex-Lightning draft pick Alexei Glukhov also lit the lamp for Ufa in the win.

Vladivostok built a 3-0 lead thanks in part to a goal from former Lightning defenseman Mike Commodore and rode out a Ufa comeback to win 3-2. Ex-Senators draft pick Ilya Zubov had a pair of helpers for Admiral in the win.

Oleg Gubin's goal with 37 seconds left in regulation lifted Novosibirsk to a 2-1 triumph over Magnitogorsk. Former Red Wings farmhand Francis Pare had Metallurg's only goal, which was a Second Period shorthanded marker.

Lightning prospect Nikita Gusev scored a shootout goal to help seal a 3-2 Yugra victory over Ekaterinburg. Yugra also got a shootout goal and a regulation goal from former Lightning draft pick Radek Smolenak in the win. Gusev, who played 16:13 in the match, continues to cement his role as Yugra's shootout ace.

Jaroslav Janus turned away 1 of 2 in the shootout session in Slovan's 2-1 win over Podolsk. Bratislava's shooters, conversely, were a perfect 3-for-3, including a conversion by former NHL'er Miroslav Satan. Ex-Flyers farmhand Johan Backlund took the loss for Podolsk.
